Jonathan Pann

Detailed Profile in English

I am a language teacher and a photojournalist currently based in Saigon, Vietnam. I currently work for "Alliance Française" and I speak french with a classic Parisian accent.

I was born in a multicultural family on the peninsula of Brittany in eastern France. I speak French (native) and English (fluent).

I have been living abroad since 2000, mainly in London UK where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Photography from the University of East London and where I successfully completed a Cambridge TEFL/TESOL course.

I have been teaching one-to-one lessons to teenagers and adults with different levels and needs, from beginner to advance students, in French and in English.

Teaching has been a great experience for me. I like to get to know people, interact with them, build up a relationship with them and work together towards their goal.

Teaching Approach

Lesson Introduction:

- BEGINNER level - You will learn the language basics. I will teach you how to use simple words and phrases to communicate. We will work intensively on pronunciation so you will be able to speak and interact with people when traveling abroad for business or pleasure.

- INTERMEDIATE level - You will improve your knowledge of the language by having an interesting discussion on the topic of the day, or practicing with a realistic dialogue. You will learn useful idioms and phrases that you will need to feel comfortable with speaking and reading in real life situations.

- ADVANCED level - You will sharpen your skills and abilities in communicating in the language by focusing on the areas that need improvement. We will work on correcting and polishing your pronunciation. We will have an in-depth conversation on a topic of your choice, or a conversation based on inspiring and original mixed media materials.

Jonathan strikes a great balance between letting the student talk and correcting him when necessary. He has a relaxed and aimiable personality which lends itself to easy conversation. In addition, he has a good grasp of French usage and grammar.

My son has been working with Jonathan for a couple of months now. I recently checked in with my son’s French teacher at his school, and my son’s spoken French has improved quite a bit, and the teacher is pleased with how he’s doing.
